Seen at the 2013 SPA historical a white abarth
Does somebody know which chassis number it is ?
For me it is not the original color

Hello Everyone,

Steve Heinrichs has asked me to post information about the Abarth 356B Carrera GTL above.

We believe it is chassis nr. 1007. Check out this link to Ultimate Car Page to see that a photo which identifies the white car as 1007 at 2013 Spa Classic has the same license nr. RA S2 64. It was originally silver and we believe it stayed in Europe.

Here is a second link that identifies the chassis nr. as 1007. Ultimate Car Page

Regards, Vietta

This car is back to France after a long stay in the US

Are you sure that the blue one is 1012 ?

[Steve Heinrichs]

Hi guys,

1012 was originally silver and remains in the U.S. unless sold recently.

For Steve and Mustang 66
When I saw this blue Abarth on the Fiskens stand I thought it was 1009 the Ruiz Picasso car

I ask confirmation from one of the Fiskens salesman on the stand and was told it was 1012 very recently bought in the US by a famous French cook (name ?) and just repainted French blue
This salesman also told me that this car was not for sale but reasonnable offers will be considered

[Steve Heinrichs]

Hi,

You may well be correct. Thanks for the info.

Capricorn or original Fuhrmann ?




Steve if you read this post may be you could tell us more
On the French Autodiva forum it is said that the owner of 1012 also owe 1016
Could you confirm that 1012 still in the US

Last point in nfavor of this car being a fake, is that this car was painted and decorated as 1002 the Sonauto car at the 1961 Le Mans 24 Hours driven by Robert Buchet and Pierre Monneret
This car was DNF

[Porschinelle]

For the small history interesting to note that Robert Buchet was driving his personnal car 1002, car he destroyed a year later on that same race track during the 1962 Tour Auto
Pierre Monneret (a former famous motorbyke pilot) was the first owner of 1009 the car that belong to day to Claude Ruiz Picasso (another French blue abarth)

another pic of 1002 at the 1961 Le Mans race

A scale model of 1002
Interesting the exhaust similar to the Fiskens car and also the catadiopres under the behives lights
